Killers


Tonight my mom and I decided to catch a movie. Mike doesn't always want to see the same movies I do, so I let him off the hook occasionally and find someone else who will love them with me. I don't know many Grey's Anatomy fans who don't love Katherine Heigl, I think I've seen every one of her movies. (Even "Wish upon a Star" before she became Izzy) And I can't say enough about Ashton Kutcher. He's fun to look at...
It is a romantic comedy, the kind that make you leave the theater smiling and wishing that life could really end up with such a happy ending. I love that crap. Tom Selleck is also in it as Katherine Heigl's dad and is really funny. Go see this movie! It's worth watching!

The Clan of the Cave Bear

The Clan of the Cave Bear (Earth's Children, #1) The Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M. Auel


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book was recommended to me by my friend/office manager, Stephanie. She has also read and loved the Outlander series so I decided that she has good taste in books and picked this one up. She warned me that the author can be extremely descriptive with nature and such, but to bear with it because she's just trying to give you a good setting. Well I never give up on books so I stuck with it and about half way through, I was HOOKED! I couldn't put it down. It is so good! You fall in love with Ayla and you just get so sucked into the story. It's an amazing story and can't wait to get further into book 2 of the series to find out what happens next!

The A-Team



Sunday we decided to catch a movie with my mom since my step dad had to leave town for work that night. We had all been wanting to see The A-team so we decided to go. Nick decided to join us and none of us were disappointed!
This movie is absolutely the perfect blend of a good story line, action, comedy and the gorgeous Bradley Cooper. I give it two thumbs up and would recommend seeing it. I'll probably buy it and watch it again! Yes, it's that good! Did I mention that Bradley Cooper is in it?! Oh yeah!

Sex and the City

Two years ago I went to see Sex and the City the movie with some girls who loved the show. I've only ever seen a few episodes and they were all out of sequence. Despite not seeing the seasons, I LOVED the movie, I actually own it and watch it all the time. So I was most certainly going to go see the second movie when it came out.
My friend, Trisha, said that I have to see the seasons with Aiden in them before seeing the movie since the previews hinted that he'd be a part of the new movie. She brought me seasons 3 and 4. I thought since I dropped my summer class, why not watch all the seasons before seeing the movie? There's no reason or time constraints at hand to make me not be thorough after all. :) So in about 2 weeks time, I watched all seasons 1-6 and absolutely loved them (yes, that's how much free time I have).
Then it came time to get down to business and see the new movie. I talked Trisha into it one day after work and it was fabulous! Of course it contained a little Sex and the City drama but like all good movies, had a happy ending. Trisha and I had consumed most of a large popcorn and two large drinks so by the time the happy ending rolled around our bladders were screaming for help! We had to nearly push some slow old ladies aside to get to the restroom!
It was an all around fun night! We did decide that we like the first movie better, but I'd recommend seeing #2, it's worth seeing! I'd even see it again!
Thanks for getting me addicted to Sex and the City Trish!
